\_j^J\CSiS't.GTL    S  As  I  enter  upon  my  thifd  session  at  Farm ville, 

I  welcome  the  opportunity  to  send  a  word  of 

Ml  greeting  to  our  alumnae  and  to  report  some  of 

6SS3.^V^  the  accomplishments  of  the  last  twelve  months. 

Now  that  I  have  attained  "Junior"  status,  I  can 
really  look  forward  to  assuming  the  full  dignity 
of  an  alumnus  in  a  relatively  short  time. 

The  College  has  enrolled  an  excellent  class  of  freshmen  in  so  far  as 
quality,  ability  and  charm  are  concerned.  We  have  continued  our  plan  of 
careful  selection  of  candidates  for  admission  and  had  to  reject  relatively  few 
as  compared  with  a  year  ago.  Apparently,  only  gii'ls  of  good  quality  applied. 
It  becomes  increasingly  necessary,  however,  for  our  fine  group  of  alumnae 
to  become  more  active  than  ever  in  interesting  girls  of  ability  in  coming  to 
S.T.C. 

Three  of  our  faculty  members  of  long  standing  have  retired.  They  ai-e 
Dr.  Walmsley,  Miss  Taliaferro,  and  Miss  Camper.  We  are  grateful  to  them 
for  their  years  of  devoted  and  effective  service  to  the  College.  We  welcome 
the  new  faculty  and  staff  members  who  have  joined  our  ranks.  They  will 
be  presented  elsewhere  in  this  issue  of  the  Bulletin. 

I  congratulate  the  alimmae  upon  their  substantial  contributions  to  the 
Jarman  Organ  Fund.  If  the  good  work  continues,  the  organ  will  be  available 
when  the  new  auditorium  is  dedicated. 

The  Legislature  of  1948  did  well  by  us.  The  appropriation  for  opera- 
tion and  maintenance  was  as  adequate  as  could  have  been  expected  in  the 
light  of  the  many  other  demands  upon  the  funds  of  the  State. 

For  capital  expenditm-es  more  than  a  million  dollars  was  appropriated. 
Plans  have  been  completed  for  the  new  science  hall  and  greenhouse  and  bids 
called  for.  The  building  will  be  located  just  west  of  Cunningham  Hall 
across  Race  Street.  It  is  hoped  that  before  the  session  is  over  the  new 
auditorium-music  building  will  be  under  way.  The  town  council  has  agreed 
to  close  Race  Street,  and  the  auditorium  will  be  located  west  of  the  Library 
facing  High  Street  and  centered  in  what  is  now  Race  Street.  The  additions 
of  these  two  buildings  will  provide  adequately  for  our  physical  plant  needs 
for  some  years  to  come. 

This  past  summer  acoustical  tile  to  reduce  noise  has  been  placed  in  the 
ceiling  of  the  dining  hall,  and  the  entire  room  has  been  painted.  The  floor 
of  the  rotunda  and  adjacent  halls  has  been  covered  with  mastic  tile,  adding 
greatly  to  the  general  appearance  of  the  building. 

The  Alumnae  Association  is  to  be  congratulated  upon  the  addition  of 
the  soda  fountain  and  snack  bar  which  are  adding  to  the  happiness  of  the 
students. 

A  critical  analysis  is  being  made  of  the  college  courses  and  their  content, 
in  order  to  be  sure  that  the  best  possible  preparation  for  teaching  and  for 
good  citizenship  is  provided. 

It  is  my  hope  that  each  and  every  alumna  will  feel  free  to  make  con- 
structive suggestions  for  the  improvement  of  the  College.  Good  team  work 
on  the  part  of  alumnae,  faculty,  students  and  administration  will  mean  an 
ever  greater  contribution  by  the  College  to  the  life  of  the  Commonwealth.

A  Message  From 

Dear  Alumnae,  Our    jNatlOnal 

It  has  been  a  joy  to  serve  as  your  T^  '1  j 

nominal  head  for  the  past  two  years.     I  -■-    -TCOlt-ldlL 

say  "nominal"  head  because  we  realize 

that  the  activities  of  our  organization  are 

accomplished  most  efficiently  under  the  direction  of  our  beloved  Executive 

Secretaiy,  Ruth  Harding  Coyner.    It  is  most  fitting  to  take  this  opportunity 

to  express  our  appreciation  to  her  and  her  staff. 

You  will  be  interested  in  the  following  projects  of  the  Alumnae  at  this 
time: 

1.  The  Jarman  Organ  Fund  (so  dear  to  our  hearts).  The  State  has 
already  appropriated  the  money  for  the  new  auditorium,  so  you  will 
realize  the  importance  of  completing  the  amount  for  the  organ. 
This  can  be  done  by  personal  and  chapter  contributions  and  payment 
of  pledges  already  made. 

2.  Class  reunions  are  to  be  held  every  five  years  instead  of  every  ten. 
What  a  very  fine  thing  this  is!  Ten  years  brings  such  changes  that 
we  often  don't  recognize  each  other. 

3.  The  Alumnae  Council,  launched  October  1947,  is  composed  of  the 
Board,  Chapter  presidents  (or  a  representative)  and  Class  secre- 
taries. This  Council  meets  annually,  in  the  fall,  and  has  already 
proved  a  great  stimulant. 

4.  The  Class  Agent  System  has  surpassed  our  hopes  in  its  success. 
You  will  get  a  brief  statement  of  tliis  in  the  "Alumnae  Fund"  report. 

5.  Have  you  heard  of  the  "Snack  Bar",  located  in  the  Recreation  Hall, 
owned  and  operated  by  the  Alumnae?  After  it  "pays  for  itself" 
we  believe  it  will  be  a  real  source  of  revenue  for  us.  Be  sure  to  visit- 
it  when  you  return. 

My  message  would  be  incomplete  without  a  word  of  praise  to  Dr. 
Lancaster  and  the  faculty  for  their  continued  emphasis  on  scholarship  as  a 
basis  of  teaching.  Echoes  of  their  raising  of  standards  are  heard  constantly 
among  educators  in  Virginia  and  other  states.    How  fortunate  we  are! 

But  let's  remember  that  the  whole-hearted  support  of  the  Alumnae  is 
necessary  for  the  greatest  success  of  our  College.  We  can  keep  in  touch 
personally,  through  our  class,  or  through  the  local  chapter.  (Where  there 
is  no  local  chapter,  can't  you  organize  one?) 

Founder's  Day  is  March  12,  1949,  and  we  are  looking  forward  to  seeing 
you. 

Sincerely  always, 

]\Iaria  Bristow  Starke, 

National  President, 
Association  of  Alumnae,  S.T.C. 


The  1949  Class  Reunions 

"Four     and  "'nine"  classes  will  return  on  March  12tli. 
Those   of    1899    and    1924  will   celebrate    anniversaries 


Attention,  "nine"  and  "four"  classes!  This 
is  your  reunion  year.  In  the  past  all  special 
class  reunions  have  occurred  onh^  once  in  a 
decade;  beginning  this  ;\Iarch  1949  there  will 
be  a  class  homecoming  every  five  years.  Our 
very  special  good  wishes  go  to  the  classes  of 
1924  and  1899,  celebrating  respectively  their 
twenty-fifth  and  fiftieth  anniversaries. 

Ever  since  our  first  official  Founder's  Day 
in  1922,  referred  to  then  in  the  special  issue  of 
the  Rotunda  commemorating  the  occasion  as 
"Normal  School  Day",  alumnae  have  rem- 
inisced in  script  and  print  through  personal 
letters  to  classmates  and  in  group  letters  to 
their  fellow  alumnae  urging  them  to  return  to 
Farmville  for  these  reunions.  The  sum  total 
of  these  letters  through  the  years  record  an 
informal  history  of  the  student  bodies  of  the 
past,  from  the  days  when  the  girls  were  required 
to  march  in  silence  to  and  from  their  classes, 
and  Sunday  night  suppers  were  eaten  in  the 
girls'  rooms  around  the  stoves,  and  "every  girl 
entertained  a  chaperone  with  her  engagement" 
to  the  present  era  of  cigarettes,  snackbar, 
and  co-eds. 

Now  that  special  reunion  classes  are  to  be 
held  every  five  years  instead  of  every  ten, 
the  number  of  class  letters  has  doubled.  Space 
does  not  permit  the  Bulletin  to  print  them 
all,  so  we  reluctantly  cut  and  edit  and  quote  in 
part,  with  apologies  to  the  authors  if  we  seem 
to  mutilate  a  well-turned  phrase  or  omit  a 
favored  reminiscence. 

The  letters  representing  our  youngest  and 
oldest  reunion  classes,  1944  and  1889,  hold 
special  interest.  Fay  Webb  finds  it  almost 
impossible  to  believe  that  five  years  have 
passed  since  the  class  of  1944  left  their  alma 
mater,  and  there's  certainly  nothing  in  her 
letter  which  makes  her  seem  "that  old"  to 
the  alumnae  office!  She  writes:  "Dear  Class 
of  '44:  Are  you  teaching,  baby  sitting,  or  just 
making  up  your  minds?  Whatever  you're  doing 
it  has  been  five  years  now  since  we  were  all 
together  and  that  means  it  is  high  time  we  were 
all  going  back  again.  When  we  get  together 
in  March  we  will  all  want  to  know  about  whom 
each  married  and  "also  see  the  babies.     Will 


each  one  of  you  please  send  me  the  most  recent 
picture  you  have  of  you,  your  husband,  and 
family?  If  you're  not  married,  how  about  one 
of  the  current  flame?  Then  at  school  we'll  plan 
a  meeting  in  the  projection  room  and  put  them 
on  slides  so  we  can  all  get  a  good  look." 

Vera  Ebel  Elmore  urges  her  1939  classmates 
to  "plan  to  let  Papa  mind  the  babies;  let  the 
other  teachers  take  in  the  P.T.A.  meeting", 
etc.,  while  the  thirtj'-niners  enjoy  their  tenth 
reunion  year  to  reminisce  together  over  the 
hilarity  of  Rat  Week,  the  fun  of  Mardi  Gras, 
meetings  at  Shannons,  and  dates  at  Hampden- 
Sydney. 

"Berk"  Nelson  admonishes  the  class  of  '34 
"not  to  let  snow,  distance,  or  hardships  prevent 
them  from  reaching  their  Farmville  goal  in 
March." 

Looking  over  your  old  Virginian  is  a  good  way 
to  get  in  the  reunion  spirit.  Elsie  Clements 
Hanna,  1929,  finds  that  it  brings  back  memories 
of  "Liz"  Munn's  "Rough  Riders"  orchestra, 
Saturday  night  "Sings",  and  the  excitement  of 
"color  rush"  on  Thanksgiving  morning.  The 
real  fun  would  be  to  relive  past  pleasures  in  a 
reunion  get-together  at  S.T.C.  this  Founder's 
Day. 

A  distinctive  group  of  individualists  was  the 
class  of  1924,  now  preparing  to  celebrate  their 
twenty-fifth  reunion.  "No  one  was  ever  sur- 
prised at  anything  we  did  or  said,"  declares 
"Stuffy"  Wall.  But  fate  saw  to  it  that  some 
of  the  surprises  were  on  them!  Remember  the 
school  fire?  It  occurred  in  November  of  their 
junior  year — an  occasion  which  recalls  four 
A.  M.  scrambling  of  frightened  and  scantily 
clothed  young  ladies  who  appeared  both  pa- 
thetic and  comic  in  their  bath  robes  and  kid 
curlers  as  they  made  frantic  efforts  to  salvage 
their  best  frocks  or  their  best  beaus'  portraits! 
And  what  an  aftermath!  No  other  class  ever 
spent  Christmas  at  S.T.C. — "a  wonderful 
Christmas"  at  that,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that 
there  were  classes  and  tests.  "Stuffy"  has 
some  choice  reminiscences  for  the  reunion — 
from  the  midnight  vigil  of  Berta,  "Pink",  and 
Kemp  which  won  the  color  rush  for  red  and 
white,  to  the  classic  "Gizzard  of  Was"  which 


February,  1949 


parodied  Miss  Munoz's  operetta.  But  the 
special  treat  she  offers  her  returning  classmates 
is  the  presence  on  the  campus  of  their  beloved 
honorary  member,  Miss  Mary  Clay  Hiner,  who 
will  be  here  to  greet  them. 

Catherine  Riddle  greets  her  six  fellow  class- 
mates of  1919:  "Do  you  remember  how  I  got 
to  be  President?  Well,  I  do.  We  never  could 
agree  on  anything,  even  a  president,  so  having 
been  it  the  junior  year  I  just  continued  until 
we  could  elect  another,  and  we  didn't.  No  two 
of  us  would  even  major  in  the  same  subject. 
But  let's  for  once  agree  on  one  thing — let's 
get  together  in  Farmville  for  Founder's  Day 
and  see  how  the  years  have  treated  all  of  us. 
I'll  bet  my  hair  is  the  whitest  and  I'm  the 
fattest.  Having  been  the  first  Degree  Class 
let's  be  the  first  class  to  have  100  per  cent 
attendance  on  the  30th  anniversary." 

Fortunately,  all  of  our  alumnae  do  not  leave 
Farmville  on  graduation,  and  many  who  leave 
come  back  to  live.  Letters  from  Susan  Minton 
Reynolds,  1914,  and  from  Mary  Dupuy  and 
Minnie  Blanton  Button,  June  and  January 
graduates  of  1909,  indicate  that  close  proximity 
to  their  Alma  Mater  is  still  a  privilege,  and  offer 
assurance  to  all  returning  classmates  that  a 
hearty  welcome  awaits  them.  "Those  of  us 
who  call  Farmville  home  are  eager  to  help  you 
renew  the  fellowship  that  time  and  space  have 
only  dimmed,  and  to  reestablish  the  fine  asso- 
ciations with  an  enlarged  Alma  Mater."  Susan 
Reynolds  suggests  that  her  classmates  might 
meet  and  sing  again  to  their  senior  man,  Mr. 
Coyner  ("who  blushes  as  easily  now  as  then"). 
They  would  be  greeted  by  the  new  Dean  of 
Women — "our  own  Ruth  Gleaves!"  Mary 
Dupuy  recalls  that  the  "Naughty  Niners", 
as  they  styled  themselves  "in  the  salad  days 
of  their  seniorhood",  was  "a  class  of  several 
distinctions.  At  that  time  it  was  the  largest 
class  to  be  graduated  from  S.N.S. — fifty-four 
was  a  ponderous  number.  Student  Government 
became  a  reality  that  year,  and  we  inaugurated 
the  annual  bequest  of  the  silver  sickle  to  the 
junior  class  that  was  to  reap  the  harvest  that 
the  seniors  seeded."  We  worked,  played,  and 
even  fought  hard  together.  ShouRl  our  parting 
gift  of  a  flag  be  of  these  United  States  or  of  the 
Old  Dominion?  Should  graduation  dresses  be 
of  starched  and  uniform  linen  or  the  traditional 
tucks-and-insertion?  The  wagon  ride  to  Willis 
Mountain,  the  mock  faculty  meeting,  the  first 
public  Physical  Education  exhibition,  all  were 
grave  and  glorious   issues.     I   read  from   The 


Virginian  a  class  motto  that  I  suspect  you,  too, 
had  forgotten:  'The  past  is  but  the  prelude'. 
May  our  reunion  be  so  strong  that  we  can  thus 
lightly  refer  to  the  two-score  years  of  life  that 
prelude  it." 

In  greeting  the  January  class  of  the  same  year 
Minnie  Blanton  Button  writes:  "Strange  now 
to  think  of  graduating  in  January,  isn't  it,  yet 
vivid  in  the  memory  of  each  of  us  is  that  cold 
January  evening  in  1909  when  our  class  of 
thirteen  girls  received  diplomas  from  'The 
State  Normal  School'.  Was  that  really  forty 
years  ago  or  does  some  trick  of  the  mind  make 
the  figures  'add  up'  that  way!  Since  that  time 
we  have  not  had  a  class  reunion,  but  how  I 
hope  we  can  all  be  together  at  State  Teachers 
College  on  Founder's  Day,  March  12,  1949. 
Remember  how,  at  first,  we  stood  in  awe  of 
Miss  Lulu  O.  Andrews?  After  a  few  sandwich 
suppers  in  her  room,  how  we  learned  to  know 
and  love  her,  and  how  proud  we  were  always  to 
say  'Miss  Andrews  is  our  honorary  member.' 
She  is  gone,  but  all  thirteen  of  us  have  survived 
the  years — lucky  thirteen — and  I  trust  the 
years  have  been  kind  enough  to  leave  us  at 
least  recognizable  in  spite  of  added  avoirdupois 
and  gray  hairs,  to  say  nothing  of  a  few  wrinkles. 
Wouldn't  it  be  wonderful  if  each  one  of  us  can 
answer  to  roll  call!" 

"Dear  Classmates  of  June  1904:",  writes 
Cora  B.  Kay,  "Look  over  The  Virginian  of  our 
class.  Forty-five  years  ago  we  sang:  'Then 
hey  diddle  do,  we  Seniors  are  through.'  The 
intervening  years  have  been  crowded  with  joy, 
sorrow,  worry,  pleasure,  work.  I  guess  work 
has  been  the  paramount  issue.  I  hope  so. 
'There's  rosemary,  that's  for  remembrance, 
pray,  love,  remember.'  What?  The  Farmville 
spirit  made  possible  by  Mrs.  Morrison's  mother- 
liness.  Dr.  Jarman's  smile,  Mr.  Cox's  wise 
advice,  the  Faculty's  guidance,  the  struggle 
to  get  a  'passed'  on  work  for  the  term,  the 
midnight  feasts,  the  pillow  fights  on  the  halls. 
Retired  teachers  (from  classrooms,  not  work), 
mothers,  and  grandmothers,  listen!  Why  not 
get  together  again?  Why  not  get  the  Jarman 
Attendance  Cup?" 

Nelly  Preston,  January  1899,  in  the  letters 
already  received  by  the  members  of  her  class 
reminded  them,  "It  is  fifty  years  ago  that  you 
and  I  were  agog  with  preparations  for  returning 
to  old  S.N.S.  for  the  final  half  session  of  our 
scholastic  career  there.  How  ludicrously  dig- 
nified and  important  we  felt  in  assuming  the 
high  role  of  seniors  in  our  Alma  Mater."    And

Alumnae  Magazine 


now  how  your  presence  will  lend  importance  to 
our  Founder's  Daj'  1949! 

It  seems  fitting  that  the  letter  written  by 
one  of  our  most  illustrious  alumnae  and  rep- 
resenting the  class  of  1889  who  hopes  to  be 
represented  at  their  sixtieth  reunion  be  quoted 
in  full.  Dr.  Kline,  nostalgic  for  a  Virginia 
summer,  writes  from  the  heat  of  Texas:  "Dear 
Alumnae  of  1889:  Our  Sixtieth  Reunion!  It  is 
to  be  on  March  12,  1949.  We  must  come  to  it 
if  possible,  and  once  more  feel  the  warmth  of 
the  Farmville  spirit.  Like  many  others  I 
suspect,  I  date  that  inspiration  that  made  me 
long  to  know  more  of  the  world's  store  of  knowl- 
edge to  my  sojourn  at  the  old  Normal.  In 
fact,    I   beheve    I   woke   up   intellectually   at 


Farmville.  I  consider  it  one  of  my  great 
privileges  to  have  known  our  ]\lr.  Cunningham 
(not  even  a  doctor  then),  to  have  been  a  student 
of  Miss  Parrish,  Miss  Gash,  and  of  Miss 
RejTiolds,  to  have  known  so  wonderful  a  char- 
acter as  Miss  Coulling — then  younger  than  some 
of  us,  and  to  have  served  there  as  a  teacher  for 
seven  years." 

To  whet  the  appetites  of  the  young  for 
knowledge,  and  to  provide  a  banquet  for  their 
feasting;  to  promote  an  intellectual  awakening, 
arousing  action!  Surely  these  are  worthy  goals 
of  any  institution  of  learning.  After  sixty 
years,  Mrs.  Kline,  may  we  hope  that  the  same 
may  be  said  of  Farmville  State  Teachers 
College  by  the  graduates  of  the  class  of  1949!

Tne  Lyncnburg  Pageant 

Many  S.T.C.  Alumnae  make  outstanding  contribution  to 
city  s    great   pageant.       Over   6,000    view   the    production 


Orchids  to  our  S.T.C.  Alumnae  for 
their  part  in  Lynchburg's  great  pageant, 
the  American  Saga  which  was  presented 
at  the  City  Stadium  on  May  18,  1948! 
Farmville  Alumnae  were  so  outstanding 
in  the  writing  and  production  that  the 
newspaper  account  reads  like  an  alumnae 
roster!  The  entire  pageant  was  an  out- 
come of  the  work  of  Lynchburg's  ele- 
mentary school  pupils  in  music,  art, 
physical  education,  and  other  special 
subjects.  And  believe  it  or  not,  over 
6,000  people  thronged  the  Stadium 
to  see  the  history  of  America  unfold 
itself  through  story,  song,  tableau,  and 
dance. 

So  artistic  and  significant  was  this 
project  that  we  list  the  part  our  S.T.C. 
Alumnae  had  in  it:  Virginia  Horner 
David,  as  chairman  of  the  project,  was 
assisted  by  a  central  committee  composed 
of  the  following:  Mary  Paul  Wallace, 
who  wrote  the  narrative  depicting  Ameri- 
can life  from  the  days  of  Columbus  to 
the    present     time;    Dorothy    Shaeffer 


Oglesby,  who  supervised  the  dances;  and 
Julia  Mahood  (our  portrait  painter),  who 
designed  the  dance  costumes.  Other 
prominent  alumnae  who  assisted  in  pro- 
ducing this  pageant  were  Mary  Jeffer- 
son, music;  Ruth  Fuqua  McGee,  Chris- 
tine Garrett  McKinzie,  Miriam  Feagans, 
costumes;  Sue  Cross  and  Caroline  Bar- 
gamin  Clarke,  stage  sets;  Claiborne 
Perrow,  Lucille  Reid,  Louie  Locke, 
Mamie  McDaniel,  Agnes  Murphy  Frank- 
lin, episodes;  Mattie  Zimmerman,  seating 
arrangements;  Mary  Mason,  properties; 
Helen  Costan,  lighting;  Elizabeth  Clarke, 
amplifiers;  Lucy  Allen,  casting  stage 
and  pantomimes;  Margaret  Davis  Bar- 
nette,  dances;  and  Dorothy  Hughes 
Harris,  May  pole. 

Climaxing  the  pageant  was  a  star 
formation  in  which  2,000  five-point  health 
children  sang  "Let's  Make  the  World 
Tomorrow  Today",  directed  by  Mrs. 
Gilberta  Trent.  Mrs.  Trent  is  not  an 
S.T.C.  Alumna,  but  she  is  fine  enough  to 
be  one!

The  Alumnae  Fund 

For  years  the  Alumnae  Association  had 
wanted  to  try  the  class  agent  system  of 
giving  which  has  been  so  successful  in 
other  colleges.  Due  to  an  inadequate 
staff  in  the  Alumnae  OfHce  this  was 
impossible.  In  1947  it  worked  so  splen- 
didly with  the  reunion  classes  that  the 
office  staff  was  increased  (on  faith),  and 
the  plan  was  launched  in  a  big  way  in 
1948.  By  now  you  are  famihar  with  the 
plan  of  having  each  class  agent  write  to 
about  ten  of  her  classmates. 


The  response  surpassed  our  fondest 
dreams!  Alumnae,  administration,  fac- 
ulty and  friends  have  given  a  total  of 
111,121.94;  $3,709.85  unrestricted  and 
•17,412.09  to  the  Jarman  Organ  Fund. 
$1,053.00  has  been  pledged  to  be  paid 
before  December  31,  1948,  which  will 
swell  the  grand  total  for  the  year  of 
1948  to  $12,174.94.  The  Jarman  Organ 
Fund  was  started  two  years  ago,  and  it 
now  has  a  total  of  $12,014.27  in  a  savings 
account. 

Especially  heartwarming  was  the  spirit 
of  the  639  who  served  faithfully  and

unselfishly  as  class  agents.  Their  devo- 
tion and  zeal,  and  your  response  made 
last  year's  effort  an  outstanding  success. 
The  following  excerpts  are  typical  of 
scores  of  letters  received:  "I  am  en- 
closing a  small  check,  hoping  it  will  make 
the  class  of  1886  go  over  the  top  100 
per  cent"  .  .  .  "When  I  did  some  teach- 
ing in  Columbia  University  this  spring, 
more  than  ever  I  appreciated  the  wonder- 
ful tilings  Dr.  Jarman  did.  I  wish  I  could 
pay  for  the  whole  organ"  .  .  .  "If  it 
will  be  satisfactorjr  to  'carry  on'  from 
Japan  as  class  agent,  I  shall  be  glad  to  do 
so"  ...  "I  truly  welcome  this  chance 
to  serve  in  a  small  way"    .    .    .    "I  really 


enjoyed  writing  the  letters  to  my  old  class- 
mates" .  .  .  "Thanks  for  the  privilege 
of  being  allowed  to  help  in  such  a  worthy 
cause!" 

The  1948  Honor  Roll  on  page  48  speaks 
for  itself.  The  fact  that  about  one-fourth 
of  our  Alumnae  have  already  made  a 
gift  to  the  Jarman  Organ  Fund  is  hearten- 
ing. Surely  every  one  of  the  remaining 
three-fourths  will  wish  to  have  some  part, 
no  matter  how  small,  in  this  appropriate 
memorial  to  our  beloved  friend,  Dr. 
Jarman.  Remember  too  that  our  only 
way  of  running  the  Alumnae  Office  is

1947-48 


A  brief  summary  of  outstanding  events 
on  tne  campus  during   tne   college   year 


Student  Seven  hundred  and  seventy-six 
Body  students  were  enrolled  in  the 

1947-48  session.  Of  this  num- 
ber, thirty-four  were  men. 

For  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  the 
College,  a  Committee  on  Admissions  re- 
viewed the  applications  of  all  new  stu- 
dents seeking  admission .  Applicants  were 
admitted  on  the  basis  of  their  academic 
records  in  high  school,  the  quality  of  let- 
ters which  they  wrote  in  connection  with 
their  applications,  the  comments  of  their 
high  school  principals  regarding  them,  and 
their  performance  on  a  brief  scholastic 
aptitude  test.  Studies  of  the  abiUty  of 
the  freshmen  made  after  their  arrival  on 
the  campus  in  September  showed  that 
they  were,  in  general,  superior  students 
to  those  admitted  in  previous  years. 
For  example,  less  than  2  per  cent  appeared 
to  have  a  level  of  academic  aptitude  too 
low  for  success  in  college  study  whereas 
10  per  cent  of  the  1946-47  freshmen  were 
placed  in  this  category.  This  means, 
of  course,  that  definite  progress  was  made 
in  limiting  admissions  to  those  students 
who  had  the  minimum  abilitfy  necessary 
to  be  successful  in  college. 

Commenting  on  the  admissions  pro- 
gram, President  Lancaster  said:  "While 
our  work  in  this  area  is  still  in  an  ex- 
perimental stage,  we  are  convinced  that 
the  philosophy  underlying  it  is  sound. 
It  is  far  less  damaging  to  human  per- 
sonality to  reject  a  student's  application 
than  it  is  to  admit  him  and  later  request 
that  he  leave  because  he  is  a  failure 
academically." 

Commencement      One  hundred   and 

twenty-one     degrees 

were  awarded  by  President  Lancaster  at 


the  commencement  exercises  held  on 
May  31st.  Dr.  Edward  W.  Gregory,  Jr., 
chairman  of  the  Department  of  Sociology 
of  the  University  of  Richmond,  de- 
livered the  commencement  address.  Dr. 
Edgar  A.  Potts,  pastor  of  Centenary 
Methodist  Church  in  Lynchburg,  de- 
livered the  baccaulaureate  sermon. 

1948  Summer  Three  hundred  and 
Session  sixty-four  students  were 

enrolled  in  the  1948  sum- 
mer session.  Twenty-three  were  grad- 
uated at  the  commencement  exercises 
held  on  August  13.  Dr.  Thomas  Gran- 
ville Pullen,  State  Superintendent  of 
Education  of  Maryland,  delivered  the 
commencement  address. 

For  the  second  consecutive  summer, 
Ehzabeth  S.  Moseley  of  Rustburg  was 
elected  president  of  the  Student  Council 
which  was  composed  of  four  experienced 
women  teachers,  four  women  students 
who  had  not  taught,  and  one  male 
student. 

A  faculty  of  more  than  thirty  offered 
approximately  one  hundred  courses  in 
various  subjects.  In  addition  to  these, 
the  third  Virginia  Workshop  for  Teachers 
of  Spanish  under  the  direction  of  Mr. 
Salvatore  C.  Mangiafico  (assisted  by 
Miss  Emily  Barksdale);  an  Elementary 
Workshop  directed  by  Dr.  J.  P.  Wynne 
and  other  members  of  the  Department 
of  Education;  a  remedial  reading  work- 
shop directed  by  Dr.  Sybil  Henry  Vin- 
cent; and  a  guidance  clinic  under  the 
direction  of  Miss  Dorothy  Gray  of  the 
Danville  Regional  Consultation  Service 
offered  outstanding  opportunities  for 
study. 

Numerous  conferences  were  also  held 


February,  1949 


11 


at  the  College  during  the  summer.  A 
social  studies  workshop,  conducted  by 
the  State  Department  of  Education, 
brought  together  approximately  thirty 
selected  teachers,  principals,  supervisors, 
and  superintendents  for  a  two-week 
period  of  work.  A  three-day  conference 
was  held  by  the  'S'irginia  Tuberculosis 
Association  with  fifty  persons  in  attend- 
ance. During  August,  the  Episcopal 
Diocese  of  Southern  Virginia  conducted 
a  two-week  conference  on  the  campus. 
Approximately  160  boys  and  girls  at- 
tended the  first  week.  During  the  second, 
thirty-five  adults  were  brought  together 
to  devote  their  attention  to  problems  of 
the  church.  Concluding  the  summer's 
conferences  and  meetings  was  the  State 
finals  for  the  girls'  softball  championship 
which  were  held  in  Farmville.  One 
hundred  and  fifty  players  from  all  sec- 
tions of  the  State  A\'ere  housed  at  the 
College. 

Liberal  During  the  session  the  Course 
Arts  of  Study  Committee  made  a 

Program  thorough  study  of  the  liberal 
arts  programs  being  offered. 
On  the  basis  of  a  report  made  by  a  special 
subcommittee  the  College,  with  the  ap- 
proval of  the  State  Board  of  Education, 
strengthened  its  liberal  arts  work.  Bach- 
elor of  Arts  and  Bachelor  of  Science 
degrees  are  now  being  offered  with 
majors  in  art,  biology,  chemistry,  English, 
French,  geography,  history,  Latin,  li- 
brary science,  mathematics,  music,  phi- 
losophy and  psychology,  physical  and 
health  education,  social  science,  and 
Spanish.  The  quality  and  type  of  work 
now  required  for  graduation  in  these 
programs  of  study  equals  that  in  any 
liberal  arts  college  in  Virginia.  The 
College  continues  to  offer,  of  course,  five 


different  degrees  in  the  field  of  education 
in  addition  to  those  in  liberal  arts. 

Artists  and  The  greatest  musical  artists

young  American  baritone,  Mac  Morgan, 
was  presented.  In  February,  Albert 
Spalding,  internationally  known  violinist, 
appeared  in  concert.  On  March  22nd, 
the  Detroit  Symphony  Orchestra,  under 
the  direction  of  Dr.  Karl  Krueger, 
presented  a  concert  in  the  College 
auditorium.

nation's  leading  young  dancers. 

Outstanding  speakers  were  presented, 
from  time  to  time,  during  the  weekly 
assemblies.  In  November,  Dr.  John  H. 
Yoe  of  the  Uni\'ersity  of  Virginia,  spoke 
on  the  atomic  bomb  tests  which  he,  as 
one  of  twenty-one  American  scientists, 
viewed  at  the  Bikini  Atoll  in  1946.  In 
April,  Virginius  Dabney,  editor  of  the 
Richmond  Times-Dispatch,  reviewed  con- 
ditions in  Europe  as  he  had  seen  them 
during  a  recent  trip. 

Drama  The  session  was  one  of  out- 
standing dramatic  activity. 
The  Dramatic  Club,  with  the  assistance 
of  the  Hampden-Sydney  Jongleurs,  pre- 
sented Alberto  Casella's  "Death  Takes  a 
Holiday"  in  November,  and  Richard 
Sheridan's  "The  Rivals"  in  March.  The 
Barter  Theatre  presented  fi\'e  plays  on 
the  campus:  "The  Importance  of  Being

Physical  In  November,  ten  local  high 
Education  schools  participated  in  Play 
Day  sponsored  by  the  Ath- 
letic Association.  Just  before  the  Christ- 
mas holidays  the  H-20  Club  presented 
its  annual  pageant  entitled  "Winter 
Wonderland".  Mary  Hard  wick,  inter- 
national tennis  star,  conducted  a  tennis 
clinic  on  the  campus  during  April.  The 
College  conducted  a  basketball  clinic  in 
January  for  approximately  forty  high 
school  coaches  from  nearby  schools.  In 
February,  the  district  girls'  basketball 
tournament  of  the  Virginia  High  School 
League  was  held  on  the  campus. 

S.T.C.  teams  were  defeated  only  once 
during  the  year.  The  varsity  hockey 
team  defeated  Roanoke  College  and  the 
class  hockey  teams  won  their  contests 
from  Blackstone  College  for  Girls.  In 
basketball  the  varsity  team  defeated 
Madison  College,  William  and  Mary,  and 
Roanoke  College,  losing  to  Bridgewater 
College  in  State  contests.  Traveling 
north,  it  defeated  Hofstra  College  at 
Hempstead,  Long  Island,  and  Panzer 
College  at  East  Orange,  New  Jersey. 

Red  and  white  ribbons  are  attached 
to  the  color  cup  in  the  rotunda  this  year; 
the  Red  and  Whites  captured  the  greatest 
number  of  points  in  the  various  contests 
during  the  1947-48  session.

Granddaugliters'  Club 

Since  its  organization  in  the  fall  of  1926,  the  Granddaughters'  Club  has  been  an 
important  organization  on  the  campus  of  S.T.C.  Over  one  hundred  students  enrolled 
in  the  1948-49  session  are  members.  Each  of  them  is  proud  of  the  fact  that  her  mother 
or  grandmother  attended  here  before  her.

Workshops  Planned  for  1949 


In  addition  to  the  se^'enty-eight  courses 
offered  by  the  ^'arious  departments  of 
the  College  during  the  1949  summer 
session,  there  will  be  six  important  work- 
shops held  on  the  campus. 

From  June  27th  to  July  15th,  an 
Eighth-Grade  Workshop  will  be  offered 
by  the  faculty  and  the  Division  of 
Secondary  Education  of  the  State  De- 
partment of  Education.  This  has  been 
planned  for  teachers,  principals,  and 
super\'isors  concerned  with  the  plans  and 
problems  of  the  eighth  grade  in  twelve- 
year  high  schools.  Three  semester  hours 
of  credit  will  be  offered  for  satisfactory 
completion  of  the  work. 

During  the  period  from  July  11th  to 
July  23rd,  a  Guidance  Workshop  will 
be  conducted  under  the  super\'ision  of 
Dean  Sa^'age  and  Mrs.  Kathleen  Cover. 
This  is  designed  for  persons  in  the  public 
schools  who  have  responsibilities  in 
programs  of  guidance.  Three  semester 
hours  of  credit  will  be  given  for  satis- 
factory completion  of  the  work. 

A  Workshop  in  Remedial  Reading, 
under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  Sibyl  Henry 
Vincent,  will  be  held  from  July  5th  to 
July  30th.  Designed  primarily  for  ele- 
mentary teachers,  it  will  emphasize  the 
diagnosing  and  correcting  by  classroom 
teachers  of  defects  in  reading.  Four 
semester  hours  of  credit  will  be  given  for 
successful  completion  of  the  work. 


>ps 

The  popular  Workshop  for  Teachers, 
under  the  direction  of  the  Department 
of  Education,  will  be  held  again  in  1949. 
It  will  cover  three  periods;  and  students 
may  enroll  for  one,  two,  or  three  periods. 
From  June  20th  to  July  7th,  the  use  of 
teaching  materials  and  the  application 
of  principles  of  education  in  the  Demon- 
stration School  will  be  emphasized.  From 
July  7th  to  July  26th,  the  principles 
and  techniques  of  teaching  will  be 
featured.  The  administrative  and  man- 
agerial responsibilities  of  teachers  will 
be  stressed  in  the  period  from  July  26th 
to  August  13th.  Three  semester  hours 
of  credit  ^^'ill  be  given  for  each  period 
completed. 

A  Student  Activities  Institute  will  be 
offered  for  elementary  and  high  school 
sponsors  of  S.C.A.  and  other  student 
activities  during  the  period  from  July 
11th  to  July  23rd.  This  will  be  under 
the  direction  of  Miss  M.  Frieda  Koontz, 
S.C.A.  Executive  Secretary,  of  Richmond. 

The  outstanding  Virginia  Workshop 
for  Teachers  of  Spanish  will  be  held 
again  under  the  direction  of  Salvatore  C. 
Mangiafico.  ]\Iiss  Emily  Barksdale  will 
serve  as  registrar.  Teachers  and  pros- 
pecti\'e  teachers  of  Spanish  find  this 
nationally-kno\\"n  workshop  a  worthy 
substitute  for  foreign  study.  It  mil 
begin  June  20th  and  end  July  16th. 
Six  semester  hours  of  credit  are  given  for 
satisfactory  completion  of  the  work.

The  above  pictures  are  the  lucky  girls  who  have  received  scholarships  from  our 
Alumnae  Chapters.  They  were  chosen  for  scholarship,  citizenship  and  a  definite  interest 
in  teaching.  How  could  a  group  of  Farmville  Alumnae  serve  their  community  or  College 
better  than  help  to  send  a  worthy  girl  to  S.T.C.? 


The  highlight  of  the  year  was  the 
Alumnae  Council  meeting  in  October 
when  representatives  from  most  of  the 
chaptei's  and  the  executive  board  met 
at  S.T.C.  to  discuss  and  plan  for  the 
year's  work. 

The  following  chapters  were  most 
cooperative  in  selling  the  College  cal- 
endars in  their  communities:  Richmond, 
Roanoke,  Lynchburg,  Appomattox,  Ac- 
comack, Northampton,  Tazewell,  Char- 
lotte, North  Carolina,  Greensboro,  North 
Carolina,  Staunton  and  Farmville.  With 
their  help,  plus  the  individual  Alumane 
mail  orders,  and  the  enthusiastic  support 
of  the  student  body,  about  eighteen 
hundred  calendars  were  sold.  The  Grand- 
daughters Club  and  the  Athletic  Associa- 
tion sponsored  their  sale  in  the  College. 
It  was  decided  not  to  try  another  calendar 
this  year. 

The  Farmville  Chapter  entertained  the 


new  members  of  the  faculty  with  a  tea 
in  the  student  lounge  last  fall.  Under 
the  leadersliip  of  the  new  president,  Grace 
Moran,  a  February  subscription  card 
party  was  given  in  the  recreation  hall,  at 
which  time  a  nice  sum  was  realized  for 
the  Jarman  Organ  Fund.  The  merchants 
of  Farmville  gave  lovely  prizes  for  each 
of  the  twenty-five  tables.  In  May  the 
Chapter  entertained  the  graduating  sen- 
iors with  a  reception  on  the  lawn  of  the 
Senior  Building.  Mrs.  Eva  Warren  was 
chairman  of  this  committee  and  the 
seniors  were  most  appreciative  of  this 
welcome  into  the  Alumnae  Association. 
The  Mary  White  Cox  scholarship  which 
has  been  given  now  for  four  years  was 
presented  to  Mary  Frances  Spurlock  at  the 
Farmville  High  School  commencement. 

On  Saturday,  November  15th,  Mary 
Clay  Hiner  and  Ruth  Coyner  attended 
the    annual    opening    meeting    of    the

afterwards.  At  their  spring  meeting  the 
following  officers  were  elected:  President, 
Louise -Gary  Alkire;  vice-president,  Alice 
Buck;  secretary,  Christine  Childrey 
Chiles;  and  treasurer,  Vivian  Womack 
Connorton.  Grace  Beale  Moncure  rep- 
presented  this  Chapter  and  her  class  in 
Farmville  on  Founder's  Day. 

The  Washington  Chapter  turned  their 
scheduled  fall  meeting  on  November  16th, 
at  the  home  of  Scotia  Starke  Haggerty, 
into  a  memorial  service  for  Dr.  Jarman, 
who  died  the  day  before.  Their  business 
meeting  was  a  luncheon  on  February 
14th,  at  the  Hotel  Martinique,  at  which 
time  their  splendid  Founder's  Day  report 
was  formulated.  Their  spring  meeting 
was  held  in  the  new  Chevy  Chase  home 
of  Anne  Smith  Greene,  when  Miss 
Grace  E.  Mix,  Mary  Clay  Hiner,  Virginia 
Wall  and  Ruth  Coyner  were  Farmville 
guests.  Jessie  Brett  Kennedy  was  re- 
elected president  of  this  fine  group. 

Under  the  leadership  of  the  alert 
Lottie  West  McAnally,  the  Richmond 
Chapter  has  buzzed  with  acti\dty.  In 
the  fall  they  sponsored  teas  in  different 
areas  of  the  city  for  the  Jarman  Organ 
Fund.  Last  January,  1948,  Miller  & 
Rhoads  was  host  to  the  Richmond 
Chapter  officers  and  Dr.  F.  B.  Simkins 
at  a  luncheon  preceding  the  sale  of 
"The  South,  Old  and  New",  Dr.  Simkins' 
new  book.  The  spring  meeting  was  a 
garden  tour  and  picnic.  It  began  at 
"Agecroft  Manor"  in  the  interesting 
garden  of  Hallie  Hutcheson  Mauck;  then 
to  "Alandale",  the  home  of  Mary  Fer- 
guson Hopper  where  a  picnic  limch  was 
served.  Dean  and  Mrs.  Savage,  Dean 
Smith,  Virginia  Wall  and  Florence  Rich- 
ardson were  guests  from  Farm\dlle. 

Jean  Taylor  Barksdale  is  president  of 
the  Lexington  Chapter.     With  the  help 


of  Henrietta  Dunlap  they  are  revising 
the  list  of  about  two  hundred  Alumnae  in 
Rockbridge  County.  Henrietta  attended 
the  Council  meeting. 

The  Staunton  Chapter,  under  the 
leadership  of  Margaret  Mish  Timberlake, 
began  its  fall  meeting  Avith  a  dinner  at 
the  Triangle  Tea  Room.  The  business 
meeting  followed  at  the  home  of  Annie  K. 
Davis  Shelbourne,  at  which  time  Helen 
Cover  Lineweaver  was  elected  president. 
Ruth  Coyner  spoke  on  the  Alumnae 
objectives  for  this  year.  Mary  Clay 
Hiner  was  also  a  guest  at  this  meeting. 
Dr.  Lancaster  spoke  at  the  spring  lunch- 
eon meeting  held  at  Ingleside  Hotel  in 
May.  Other  Farmville  guests  at  this 
time  were  Mrs.  Lancaster,  Air.  and  Mrs. 
Boyd  Coyner,  Misses  Mary  Clay  and 
Winnie  Hiner,  and  Miss  Mary  Barlow. 

The  Norfolk  Chapter  had  monthly 
luncheon  meetings  from  September  until 
June.  The  fall  and  spring  meetings  are 
held  at  Essex  House,  Virginia  Beach, 
and  the  winter  meetings  are  at  Ames  and 
Brownley's  Tea  Room.  Frances  Franklin 
was  awarded  their  scholarship  for  this 
year.  Grace  Chambers  Feinthel  was 
presented  w  ith  a  gift  at  the  spring  meeting 
in  appreciation  of  her  untiring  work  as 
president  for  two  eventful  years.  Mar- 
shall Greathead  represented  this  chapter 
at  the  Fall  Council  meeting.  During 
the  Christmas  holidays  a  tea  was  given 
S.T.C.  students  at  the  home  of  Ruby 
Berger  and  Pearl  Berger  Turnbull.  Dean 
Savage  attended  the  May  meeting  at  the 
Essex  House,  owned  by  Margaret  Cobb 
Harrell,  and  spoke  on  "Friends  at  S.T.C." 
Catherine  Riddle  was  elected  president 
at  this  meeting. 

The  Lynchburg  Chapter  had  an  active 
year  under  the  leadership  of  the  following 
officers:  president,  Helen  Costan;  \'ice- 
president,  Kitty  Maddox;  recording  sec- 
retary, Carolyn  B.  Clark;  corresponding

secretary,  Helen  Watts  Ford;  and  treas- 
urer, Elizabeth  Ballagh.  They  have 
well  attended  monthly  meetings  and 
through  their  Loan  Fund  established  in 
1909  they  have  sent  one  or  more  students 
to  S.T.C.  each  year  for  more  than  a 
quarter  of  a  century.  They  were  unable 
to  have  their  usual  spring  dinner  meeting 
because  the  teaching  Alumnae  were  too 
busy  with  the  Lynchburg  Pageant. 

The  Accomack  Chapter  has  had  a  busy 
and  interesting  year  under  the  leadership 
of  Katherine  Roberts  Wescott.  Helen 
Phillips  represented  them  at  the  Council 
meeting  and  took  back  some  S.T.C. 
movies  to  show  at  their  next  meeting. 
In  December  they  had  a  unique  Swedish 
Yille  Party  at  "Old  Onley"  on  Onancock 
Creek,  the  historic  home  of  Mrs.  George  H. 
Mapp.  They  joined  with  the  Northamp- 
ton Chapter  for  the  annual  spring  lunch- 
eon meeting  when  Dean  Savage  was  the 
guest  speaker.  Katherine  Roberts  Wes- 
cott and  four  other  Accomack  Alumnae 
made  a  4:00  A.  M.  start  to  reach  Farm- 
ville  on  Founder's  Day.  We  are  indeed 
proud  of  this  one-year-old  Chapter. 

The  Blacksburg  Chapter  elected  Mar- 
garet Lawrence  Grayson  their  new  presi- 
dent. Their  membership  is  greatly 
enlarged  by  many  Alumnae  who  are  with 
their  G.I.  husbands  at  V.  P.  I.  this  year. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  Lancaster  and  Dean  and 
Mrs.  Savage  attended  the  luncheon 
meeting  of  the  Roanoke  Chapter  held 
at  the  Patrick  Henry  Hotel  in  February. 
Due  to  illness  in  her  family  Leona  Moo- 
maw  was  unable  to  preside  and  Tux 
Howison  Metcalfe  was  the  usual  gracious 
presiding  officer.  Their  scholarship  girl 
this  year  is  Eleanor  Weddle.  They  were 
represented  both  at  the  Council  meeting 
and  on  Founder's  Day. 

The  Gloucester  Chapter  held  their 
annual  spring  meeting  on  May  8th. 
Elizabeth    Dutton    Lewis    assisted    by 


Edith  Estep  Gray,  the  president,  Louise 
Bland  Morgan  and  Agnes  Miles  enter- 
tained the  Farmville  guests.  Superin- 
tendent Kenney  and  Loulie  Gayle  Bland 
for  lunch.  This  was  followed  by  a 
birthday  reception  in  the  Woman's 
Clubhouse  in  the  afternoon,  this  being  the 
tenth  anniversary  of  the  organization  of 
this  Chapter.  A  lovely  birthday  cake 
with  ten  candles  added  to  the  beauty  of 
the  tea  table.  Guests  from  Farm\'ille 
were  Dr.  Lancaster,  Dr.  F.  B.  Simkins, 
Ruth  Gleaves,  Carrie  B.  Taliaferro  and 
Ruth  Coyner. 

Kitty  Whyte  and  Hattie  Robertson 
Brinkley  represented  the  Petersburg 
Chapter  on  Founder's  Day.  Kitty  is 
always  enthusiastic  in  carrying  on  for 
Farmville  in  Petersburg.  Their  Chapter 
does  not  meet  often,  but  they  are  always 
responsive  to  all  Alumnae  requests. 

Some  of  our  finest  Alumnae  give  of 
their  time,  talent,  and  means  to  further 
the  work  of  the  Hampton  Chapter.  Anne 
Renolds  Cock  represented  this  Chapter  at 
the  Councilmeeting  and  on  Founder's  Day. 

The  Peninsula  Chapter  held  a  business 
meeting  last  fall  to  adopt  a  new  con- 
stitution, and  the  following  officers  were 
elected:  president,  Margie  Lee  Cully; 
vice-presidents,  Susie  Floyd  and  Sara 
Wade  Owen;  secretary,  Peggy  Gray 
Stora.     They  have  a  student  loan  fund. 

The  Portsmouth  Chapter  had  several 
business  meetings  last  year,  and  Louise 
Clayton  attended  Founder's  Day  as  their 
representative.  Marie  Kelly  is  their  new 
president.  Some  of  their  members  at- 
tend the  social  meetings  of  the  Norfolk 
Chapter. 

When  Ruth  Coyner  attended  College 
Night  at  the  George  Washington  High 
School  in  Alexandria  last  year,  the 
Alexandria  Chapter  under  the  leadership 
of  Anna  Carrington  Stump  had  an  en- 


Febeuary,  1949 


21 


joyable  dinner  meeting  at  the  historic 
Laura  Lee  Teahouse. 

Other  Chapters  who  sent  reports  on 
Founder's  Day  were  Charlotte,  North 
Carohna,  Appomattox,  Winchester,  Lex- 
ington, Northampton,  Brunswick  and 
New  York  City. 

A  group  of  interested  Farmville  Alum- 
nae in  Martinsville  met  in  the  home  of 
Frances  Collie  Milton  last  September 
to  discuss  plans  for  reorganizing  a 
Chapter  in  this  fine  city.  They  planned 
to  have  an  organization  meeting  in  the 


home  of  Elizabeth  Kelly  Kearfott  in 
October,  at  which  time  a  representative 
from  Farmville  S.T.C.  would  be  present. 
It  is  greatly  hoped  that  many  other 
groups  will  organize  this  year.  A  working 
geographic  unit  is  the  best  evidence  of 
your  desire  to  ser^'e  Farm^'ille. '  Fifty 
chapters  now  prove  that  the  daughters 
of  S.T.C.  have  continued  their  organized 
loyalty,  in  spite  of  war  and  depression! 
"Thy  daughters,  true,  faithful  and  loyal 
will  be."

To  keep  the  ferns  and  lilies  cool. 

My  garden  is  a  restful  place 

With  creeping  ^'ines  to  shade  my  face 

And  shield  my  eyes  from  dust  and  glare; 
While  I'm  at  rest  in  silence  there. 

In  some  bright,  open,  sunny  spaces 
I  see  s\^'eet,  life-like  pansy  faces, 

And  wonder  as  I  beg  their  pardon, 
What  they  are  thinking  of  my  garden. 

My  garden  has  long,  winding  walks. 
Bordered  by  stately  hollyhocks; 

Nasturtiums  twist  their  spicy  stems, 
Displaying  colors  rare  as  gems. 

The  goldfinch  pecks  the  purple  thistles; 
The  redbird  thrills  me  when  he  whistles. 

My  garden  is  a  lovely  place. 
With  dewy  ferns  and  cob'\\'eb  lace.

Alumnae  Tribute 
to  Dr.  Jarman 

The  passing  of  a  great  and  good  man 
always  brings  wide-spread  regret;  but 
rarely  does  such  a  man  go,  leaving 
behind  him  so  many  hearts  saddened  by 
a  deep,  personal  grief,  as  was  true  when 
Dr.  Jarman  closed  his  earthly  career  last 
November. 

Business  and  professional  groups  have 
expressed  sorrow  at  his  passing,  and  have 
spoken  and  written  in  high  praise  of  him 
as  an  educator  and  as  a  citizen.  The 
church  and  other  organizations  in  which 
he  worked  so  tirelessly,  have  extolled  his 
name  at  services  held  in  his  memory  and 
have  recorded  in  their  annals  resolutions, 
setting  forth  their  appreciation  of  Ms 
valuable  services  in  the  work  of  these 
several  organizations. 

We,  "his  girls",  are  now,  and  have 
always  been,  deeply  grateful  for  every 
honor  that  ever  came  to  him;  but  when 
all  others  have  pleased  us  with  their 
tributes,  our  hearts  are  still  heavy  be- 
cause each  Alumna  feels  that  she  has  lost 
a  personal  friend.  And  so  it  is  that  we 
shall  always  revere  liis  memory  and  strive 
to  emulate  those  qualities  in  his  natiu-e 
that  lifted  him  to  the  supreme  heights 
in  the  role  of  a  human  friend. 

To  be  a  helpful  friend,  one  must  be 
able  to  understand  the  other  person's 
point  of  view.  In  this  regard,  Dr. 
Jarman  seemed  to  have  the  gift  of  a  seer. 
With  his  unerring  estmiate  of  human 
potentialities,  he  often  discovered  in  a 
girl  possibilities  of  which  she  was  wholly 
unaware.  Then  his  faith  in  her,  his 
encouragement,  his  support  carried  her 
through  to  achievements  and  goals  of 
which  she  had  never  dreamed  herself 
capable. 

The  world's  greatest  Teacher  once 
said  to  His  closest  followers,  "Henceforth, 
I  call  you  my  friends;"  and  so  we  like 
to  recall  that  one  of  our  greatest  earthly 


Dr.  Joseph  Leon.\rd  .Jarm.\n 


teachers  claimed  "his  girls"  as  his  ever- 
faithful  friends.  His  dignity,  his  poise, 
his  refinement,  his  gallantry,  his  gentle- 
manly bearing,  we  admired;  his  fun- 
loving,  warmhearted  nature,  we  adored; 
and  because  of  these  essentially  human 
qualities,  we  always  felt  at  ease  in  his 
presence. 

Because  Dr.  Jarman  dedicated  his  life 
to  a  sacred  trust,  that  of  educating 
teachers,  he  early  caught  a  vision  of  the 
vast  reaches  of  the  high  calling  of  a  true 
educator.  To  "his  girls"  he  transmitted 
the  idea  that  the  only  happy  life  is  the 
life  of  service,  and  that  by  cooperation 
with  agencies  and  organizations  operating 
for  the  good  of  mankind,  they  would 
come  to  know  the  joy  of  sharing  in  the 
lifting  of  the  level  of  life  in  the  community 
in  which  they  served. 

His  own  modest,  unselfish  service  in  the 
far-reaching  cause  of  true  education  as 
the  panacea  for  earth's  ills,  ranks  him 
as  that  distinguished  gentleman  who 
lived  among  us  as  one  who  served.  Truly, 
he  was  one  whose  "Soul  was  tempered 
with  fire.  Fervent,  heroic,  and  good, 
Helper  and  friend  of  mankind."

Joseph  Leonard  J 


arman 


To  those  of  us  who  really  knew  Dr. 
Jarman  come  inevitably  the  words  of 
Hamlet  concerning  his  father: 

"He  was  a  man,  take  him  all  in  all, 
I   shall   not   look   upon   his   like 
again."    .    .    . 

We  who  knew  and  loved  him  are 
grateful  for  an  opportunity  to  spend  a 
few  quiet  moments  together  in  commem- 
oration of  the  goodness  and  kindness  upon 
which  he  built  his  life.  It  will  help  all 
of  us  on  our  way  to  think  on  these  things 
and  to  try  to  realize  for  ourselves  the 
sources  of  his  strength  and  the  ways  he 
went  about  his  work  among  and  for  us. 

Dr.  Jarman's  "old  girls"  heed  not  be 
reminded  how  magnetic  was  his  per- 
sonality. For  forty-odd  years  they 
placed  his  portrait  at  the  front  of  The 
Virginian — the  first  picture  they  would 
see  whenever  they  opened  the  book  of 
their  memories.  .  .  .  The  several 
portraits  which  hang  in  the  College 
today  show  varied  aspects  of  his  per- 
sonality at  different  periods.  .  .  .  Stu- 
dents and  Alumnae  love  best  the  one 
painted  by  an  alumna,  Miss  Julia  Ma- 
hood,  which  hangs  over  the  mantel  in  the 
Rotunda.  There,  as  during  his  lifetime, 
with  his  kindly  smile  Dr.  Jarman  watches 
over  the  students'  comings  and  goings  at 
the  heart  of  the  College.  No  portrait 
could  fail  to  show  the  strength,  the 
nobility,  the  dignity,  the  fine  presence  of 
the  man  who  was  himself  an  impres- 
sive person  in  any  company,  however 
distinguished. 

Moderation,  tolerance,  benevolence 
were  the  key  words  in  all  he  was  and 
did.  .  .  .  His  life  exemplified  the 
precepts  of  the  New  Testament  selections 


Excerpts  from  tke  tribute 
spoken  by  Mr.  James  M. 
Grainier  at  tne  memorial 
services  in  tne  auditorium 
of  State  Teachers  College, 
November  17,   1947 

which  were  his  favorite  chapel  reading: 
"Weary  not  in  well  doing";  "Ye  are  all 
members  of  one  body";  "Whatsoever 
things  are  pure,  etc.,  .  .  .  think 
on  these  things";  "Faith,  hope,  love, 
these  three;  and  the  greatest  of  these  is 
love".  These  precepts  he  brought  to 
a  focus  in  the  one  word — cooperation — 
to  show  the  faculty  and  students  how 
they  might  live  together,  think  together, 
and  work  together  on  a  democratic 
basis;  for  young  people  must  be  educated 
for  democracy  and  for  teaching  de- 
mocracy by  precept,  by  example,  and 
by  practice.    .    .    . 

If  I  were  asked  to  put  into  a  phrase 
what  I  consider  the  one  trait  that  set 
Dr.  Jarman  above  the  common  run  of 
man,  I  think  I  should  have  to  say  it 
was  his  love  of  beauty.  .  .  .  The  sym- 
metry and  fitness  and  the  calm  classic 
air  of  the  College  plant  which  he  erected 
here,  in  spite  of  handicaps  and  restric- 
tions, reveal  the  architect  he  might  have 
been.  The  harmony  of  color  and  design 
in  the  interior  decorations  and  furnish- 
ings, to  which  he  devoted  much  personal 
attention,  indicated  a  gift  that  might 
have  made  him  a  successful  painter. 
And  he  had  within  himself  the  natural 
makings  of  a  good  musician.    .    .    . 

There  was  no  showmanship  or  e.x- 
hibitionism    about    Dr.    Jarman.      The 


24 


Alumnae  Magazine 


beauty  he  sought  expressed  itself  in  a 
deep  sense  of  the  fitness  and  harmony  of 
things  physical  and  spiritual.  "Look 
your  prettiest",  he  often  said  to  his 
girls  when  some  special  occasion  was 
announced,  and  he  always  liked  for  his 
faculty  to  be  dressed  suitably  and  well. 
But  to  him  there  was  also  a  beauty  in 
order,  in  punctuality,  in  duty  well  done, 
in  goodness,  truth  and  kindness,  a  beauty 
of  holiness  and  unselfish  service,  a  beauty 
in  tolerance  and  charity  and  love.  .  .  . 
Browning  put  into  words  what  Dr. 
Jarman  instinctively  felt  and  unob- 
trusively made  the  guide  of  his  life: 


"Oh  world  as  God  has  made  it 
All  is  beauty; 
And  knowing  this  is  love 
And  love  is  duty."    .    .    . 

Frequently,  in  the  lapel  of  his  coat  he 
wore  a  red  rose — so  frequently  that  to 
"his  girls"  it  became  a  s}aiibol  of  his 
affection  for  them.  In  response,  year 
after  year,  on  his  bii'thday,  they  placed 
a  bouquet  of  red  roses  on  his  desk.  And 
so,  the  blanket  of  red  roses  laid  on  his 
grave  Monday  afternoon  gave  final  testi- 
mony of  their  love,  piled  through  all  the 
years  and  so  often  made  manifest  with 
red  roses. 


To  My  BrotKer,  a  Navy  Pilot 

I  stand  in  awe  of  what  I  saw  today — 

I  stood  upon  the  earth  and  watched  your  flight. 

In  solitude  I  saw  you  wing  your  way 

Into  the  sky  and  vanish  from  my  sight. 

You  left  the  earth  and  drifted  in  the  air 

Like  some  great  bird  that  soars  into  the  blue 

And  finds  a  lonely  place,  and  hovers  there ; 

Above  the  realm  of  eagle  wings  you  flew. 

God  lifts  you  up  to  Him  on  silver  wings 

As  you  take  flight  and  from  this  earth  depart 

Like  a  melody  upon  the  hush  of  spring 

That  floats  its  way  into  my  very  heart. 

I  saw  you  wing  your  way  into  the  sky 

And  knew  God  led  you  as  you  soared  on  high.

Three  Members  of  Faculty  Retire 

Outstanding  service  rendered  to  College  by 
Miss  Camper,  Dr.  Walmsley,  and  Miss  Taliaferro 


After  twenty-seven  years  of  service  in 
many  capacities  Miss  Pauline  Camper 
retired  from  the  faculty  of  the  College 
last  June.  Graduating  at  S.T.C.  in  1901, 
she  was  a  successful  teacher  in  the  pubhc 
schools  of  Virginia  before  she  became 
supervisor  of  the  Hampden  District, 
Prince  Edward  County,  in  1921,  and 
began  her  service  to  the  College  by 
teaching  an  evening  class. 

In  1924  she  completed  the  work  for  the 
A.B.  degree  at  Teachers  College,  Colum- 
bia University,  and  received  her  M.A. 
degree  from  the  same  institution  in  1929.

Not  only  was  Miss  Camper  an  out- 
standing member  of  our  College  faculty, 
but  in  the  extra  curricular  activities  of 
the  students  she  was  a  capable  leader. 
For  many  years  she  was  faculty  advisor

and  of  the  Sigma  Sigma  Sigma  sorority. 
In  alumnae  affairs  she  was  also  active, 
at  one  time  serving  as  president  of  the 
association.  Her  long  and  effective  ser- 
vice rendered  a  permanent  contribution 
to  the  growth  and  progress  of  the  institu- 
tion, and  her  influence  will  ever  endure  in 
the  lives  of  her  students. 

Dr.  James  E.  Walmsley's  longest  term 
of  teaching  has  been  at  Farmville,  but 
when  he  came  here  in  1925  he  had  taught 
at  several    other  institutions,   his   most

recent  experience  having  been  a  term  of 
more  than  ten  years  at  Winthrop  College. 
Being  a  native  Virginian  he  was  glad  to 
come  back  home. 

At  Randolph-Macon  College  he  was 
granted  the  Bachelor  of  Arts  and  Master 
of  Arts  degrees,  and  at  Illinois  Wesleyan 
University  the  Doctor  of  Philosophy 
degree. 

Dr.  Walmsley's  classes  in  history  and 
social  sciences  have  been  popular  be- 
cause he  has  made  the  work  interesting, 
clear  and  significant  to  the  students.  He 
has  been  adviser — official  and  unofficial — 
to  individual  students  and  to  groups, 
especially  to  the  Pi  Gamma  Mu  Society 
which  he  brought  to  our  campus.  He 
has  had  the  fortunate  combination  of 
wide  knowledge  of  history  and  a  deep 
interest  in  people  and  public  affairs,  so 
that  he  has  been  in  demand  as  a  speaker 
before  civic  and  other  organizations  in 
the  College,  in  the  town  of  Farmville 
and  in  many  other  places  in  A'irginia. 
He  is  well  knoA\'n  and  appreciated  for  his 
continuous  and  helpful  work  in  his 
church.  He  has  been  member  and  officer 
in  several  professional  organizations  with 
State  and  national  scope,  and  contributor 
to  journals  and  other  publications. 

On  the  occasion  of  Dr.  Walmsley's 
retirement  in  August  1948,  the  members 
of  the  college  commimity  will  miss  him, 
but  they  know  his  life  will  continue  to  be 
useful  and  sincerely  hope  it  will  be  happy. 

After  many  years'  teaching  at  her 
Alma  Mater,  Miss  Carrie  Brown  Tal- 
iaferro retired  in  August  1948.  After 
graduating  from  S.T.C.  in  1899,  she 
attended  Cornell  University  and  Teachers 
College,  Columbia  University,  receiving 
the  B.S.  and  M.A.  degrees  from  the 
latter  institution.  She  was  a  superb 
teacher  of  mathematics,  as  hundreds  of 
her  students  would  attest.  And  she 
loved  her  subject  so  much  that  she  could 


Miss  Carree-  Browx  Taliaferro 

almost  persuade  the  most  unmathe- 
matical  of  her  colleagues  of  its  beauty. 
She  has  been  greatly  missed  in  classroom 
and  in  conference  room.  The  College 
and  community,  howe\er,  are  fortunate 
in  that  she  will  continue  to  make  Farm- 
ville her  home  for  at  least  a  part  of  her 
time.  Thus  her  church  and  the  civic 
and  educational  organizations  to  which 
she  has  gi^-en  devoted  service  through 
the  years  may  still  have  the  benefit  of 
her  loyal  support. 

The  Alumnae  Association  owes  Miss 
Taliaferro  a  debt  of  gratitude ;  there  is  no 
way  of  measuring  the  value  of  her  years 
of  voluntary  service  to  our  organization. 
She  did  outstanding  work  as  Chapter 
organizer;  she  has  served  the  Association 
in  almost  every  capacity — member  of 
standing  and  special  committees,  cus- 
todian of  the  files,  treasurer,  president. 

As  for  the  College,  she  has  become  a 
veritable  part  of  it.  Gentle  in  voice  and 
manner,  alert  in  mind,  and  rich  in  the 
realm  of  the  spirit,  she  continues  to  be  a 
significant  influence  on  the  life  of  this 
College.

Our  Fiity-Year  Sororities 

Kappa    Delta,    Sigma    Sigma    Sigma,    and    Zeta 
Tau  Alpha  celebrate  tneir  golden  anniversaries 


To  reflect  that  a  wholesome  idea  or 
worthy  organization  came  into  being  on 
the  campus  of  one's  college  tends  to 
develop  and  foster  the  true  alumnae 
spirit.  And  so  every  true  daughter  of 
Farmville  glows  with  pride  in  her  Alma 
Mater  upon  hearing  that  the  last  two 
school  years  marked  the  fiftieth  anni- 
versary of  three  honored  and  honorable 
national  sororities  which  founded  their 
alpha  chapters  here  a  half  century  ago. 

From  small  beginnings  these  three 
groups:  Kappa  Delta,  Sigma  Sigma 
Sigma,  Zeta  Tau  Alpha  have  become 
nation-wide.  Kappa  Delta's  group  of 
four  founders  has  grown  to  27,000 
women,  distributed  among  seventy-three 
chapters  and  176  alumnae  chapters. 
Sigma's  eight  founders  ha\-e  increased  to 
more  than  12,000  college  women  in 
forty-three  chapters  and  fifty-seven  alum- 
nae chapters.  Zeta  Tau  Alpha's  nine 
founders  have  been  joined  by  22,000 
college  women,  representing  eighty-one 
chapters  and  149  alumnae  chapters. 
Throughout  our  nation  it  is  heartening 
to  know  that  leaders  in  professional, 
business,  social,  religious,  and  home  life 
are  women  who  in  their  college  days 
belonged  to  one  of  these  three  sororities. 
In  addition  to  their  other  duties  and 
responsibilities,  these  \\-omen  are  con- 
tinuing their  loyal  support  of  the  fine 
humanitarian  interests  sponsored  by  the 
active  chapters  of  these  three  sororities. 

Kappa  Delta,  the  first  sorority  at 
Farmville,  was  founded  in  October  1897. 
They  celebrated  their  Golden  Anni\er- 
sary  in  June  1947  at  the  Cavalier  Hotel, 
Virginia   Beach,    Virginia.      Their   indi- 


vidual chapters  have  sponsored  many 
local  charities  but  their  outstanding 
national  work  has  been  for  crippled 
children.  This  was  started  in  the 
Crippled  Children's  Hospital,  Richmond, 
in  1921  as  a  memorial  to  its  founding  in 
the  State  of  Virginia.  During  the  past 
twenty-six  years  special  equipment  has 
been  gi\'en  for  the  corrective  gymnasium, 
playground,  dental  clinic,  tubercular 
clinic  and  X-ray  laboratory.  In  1928 
Kappa  Delta  placed  a  classic  bench  and 
sundial  on  our  campus,  dedicated  to 
their  four  founders  whose  names  are 
carved  as  a  part  of  the  bench  design. 
On  their  Founder's  Day,  last  October, 
Dr.  Lancaster  read  in  chapel  a  birthday 
telegram  from  Miss  Lanier,  national 
president  of  Kappa  Delta.  The  telegram 
was  accompanied  by  a  handsome  basket 
of  flowers.  On  Founder's  Day  of  the 
College,  in  March,  the  Kappa  Delta 
national  organization  sent  $500.00  to  the 
Jarman  Organ  Fund. 

For  fifty  years  the  Alpha  Chapter  of 
Sigma  Sigma  Sigma  has  functioned  here 
on  the  College  campus.  The  sorority 
began  its  jubilee  year  celebration  with  a 
memorable  convention  in  Williamsburg 
and  wound  up  its  fiftieth  year  with  a 
week-end  here  at  Farm\ille.  Three  of 
the  original  founders  were  present  and  the 
cutting  of  that  fiftieth  birthday  cake 
will  not  soon  be  forgotten  by  those 
fortunate  enough  to  witness  this  occasion. 
The  generous  hospitality  of  the  sorority, 
extended  to  faculty  and  students,  in- 
tensified our  admiration  for  their  ideals. 
As  a  birthday  gift  to  the  college,  they 
presented  a  beautiful  grandfather's  clock

which  has  been  placed  in  the  reception 
hall.  This  sorority,  stressing  scholarship, 
leadership,  and  social  service,  has  done 
a  great  work.  The  John  Randolph  Ele- 
mentary Library,  endowed  by  the  Alpha 
Chapter,  is  only  one  of  the  countless 
community  projects  sponsored  by  Sigmas. 
In  1898,  nine  Farmville  girls  organized 
a  sorority  known  as  Zeta  Tau  Alpha, 
and  se^'en  of  those  nine,  now  living, 
gathered  in  June  1948,  at  the  Cavalier 
Hotel,  Virginia  Beach,  for  their  Golden 
Anniversary  convention.  How  incredible 
it  must  have  sounded  to  them  to  hear 
the  glowing  accounts  of  the  work  done 
by  the  many  chapters!  To  know  that 
their  little  group  of  nine  had  spread  its 
influence  throughout  the  world,  must 
have  been  a  staggering,  yet  gratifying 
thought.  For  eighteen  years  this  so- 
rority has  maintained  a  health  center 
in  the  mountains  of  Virginia;  it  sent 
300   members   into   the   armed   services 


and  the  Red  Cross  during  the  last  war; 
it  provides  many  scholarships  for  deserv- 
ing students,  one  of  them  being  available 
here  at  Farmville.  The  newest  project 
undertaken  is  that  of  work  with  the 
cerebral  palsy  Division  of  the  National 
Society  for  Crippled  Children  and  Adults. 
From  their  Virginia  Beach  celebration 
last  summer  they  sent  a  check  for  $500.00 
to  be  placed  in  the  Jarman  Organ  Fund 
"in  recognition  of  the  College  of  its  birth, 
and  further  honoring  the  Founders". 
The  Golden  Anniversary  of  the  founding 
of  Zeta  Tau  Alpha  came  to  a  close  on  last 
October  15th,  when  six  of  the  nine 
founders,  national  officer's  chapter  rep- 
resentatives, and  alumnae  from  far  and 
near  gathered  for  a  series  of  delightful 
social  events,  business  meetings,  and 
the  presentation  of  a  beautiful  bronze 
plaque  placed  in  the  rotunda  of  the 
College  that  is  the  proud  birthplace  of 
this  sorority. 


Forty  Years 

The  newspaper  article  was  entitled  "Dra- 
matic Club  Meets  With  Success".  The  dateline 
was  "State  Normal  School,  Farmville,  Va., 
April  24,  1909"  and,  according  to  a  notation,  it 
was  "special  to  the  Times-Dispatch" .  The 
reading  public  learned  the  following: 

The  Dramatic  Club  went  to  Blackstone 
to  give  the  interesting  play  "Miss  Fearless 
and  Company"  which  has  already  been 
presented  three  times  in  Farmville  and 
once  at  Crewe  with  great  success.  The 
Club  consists  of  Misses  Sophie  Booker, 
Florence  Clayton,  Pearl  Berger,  Mary 
Dupuy,  Maud  Mayo,  Ruth  Redd,  Sallie 
Fitzgerald,  Pattie  Smith,  Lula  Sutherlin 
and  Winnie  Parsons.  The  yoimg  ladies 
were  accompanied  by  Miss  Agnes  Smith, 
who  has  so  ably  trained  them,  and  by 
Prof.  J.  C.  Mattoon.

at  her  home  in  Keller,  Virginia,  on  Easter 
Sunday,  March  28,  1948.  She  graduated  at 
S.T.C.  in  1886,  and  on  the  occasion  of  the 
sixtieth  reunion  of  her  class  she  made  a  schol- 
arly, inspiring  Founder's  Day  address,  at  which 
time  she  presented  the  library  with  a  copy  of 
the  first  course  of  study  for  our  College.  After 
attending  Boston  Conservatory  of  Music  she 
taught  music  at  S.T.C.  and  Randolph-Macon 
Woman's  College.'  She  was  married  twice, 
first  to  Mr.  G.  T.  Stockley  and  after  his  death 
to  Mr.  H.  E.  Barrow  of  Farmville.  Throughout 
her  life  of  seventy-seven  years  she  was  active 
in  those  things  which  malve  for  the  cultural 
advancement  of  society.  She  was  a  prominent 
citizen  of  the  Eastern  Shore  and  was  well 
known  throughout  Virginia. 

Lizzie  Blackwell  (Mrs.  Carter  Nelson  Wil- 
liams), sister  of  Miss  Houston  Blackwell,  was 
a  member  of  the  Home  Department  at  one  time, 
and  had  many  warm  friends  in  the  community. 
She  was  living  with  Miss  Blackwell  when  her 
death  occurred  in  the  summer. 

Rose  Brimmer  died  at  her  home  in  Danville, 
Virginia,  in  January  1948.  For  thirty  years 
she  was  identified  with  the  public  school  system 
of  this  city.  She  was  a  pioneer  in  promoting 
public  education  in  the  mill  village  of  School- 
field,  when  few  facilities  were  available.  In 
1939  a  bronze  plaque  commemorating  the  long

Margaret  Meagher  again  has  launched  through 
the  Voice  of  the  People  colunui  of  the  Richmond 
Times-Dispatch  a  trenchant  and  witty  attack 
upon  an  object  of  her  displeasure.  This  time 
it  is  the  contemporary  newspaper  columnist 
who  assumes  "the  awful  mantle  of  paper 
infallibility".  The  letter  is  well  worth  reading 
for  enjoyment  of  literary  expression  as  well  as 


possible   agreement   with   the   opinion   of   the 
writer. 

Agnes  Wooton  (Mrs.  J.  R.  Spencer)  is  living 
with  her  sister,  Louise  Wooton  McNab,  in

were  awarded  scholarships  by  the  Virginia 
Society  for  Crippled  Children  to  the  workshop 
on  the  education  of  exceptional  children  held 
at  the  University  of  Virginia  in  August.  This 
was  the  first  workshop  of  the  kind  conducted 
in  Virginia,  and  dealt  with  problems  of  teaching 
children  with  physical  or  mental  handicaps, 
and  those  gifted  with  special  abilities.  Methods 
of  locating  and  reporting  exceptional  children 
were  discussed,  the  findings  to  be  carried  back 
to  the  schools  and  counties  of  the  participants.

mond Chapter,  is  gracing  the  position  of  the 
president's  wife  of  the  Virginia  Insurance 
Association. 

Theresa  Evans  (Mrs.  T.  E.  Craft)  discovered 
early  that  teaching  was  not  her  calling.  She

tion at  the  Myers  Park  Methodist  Church  in 
Charlotte,  North  Carolina,  in  January  1948. 
Quoting  Dr.  A.  B.  Clarke,  "Miss  Jarratt  has 
real  skill  in  inspiring  and  instructing  teachers 
and  she  has  rendered  an  invaluable  service  in 
directing  our  children's  work." 

Florence  Jayne,  who  taught  in  Central  High 
School,  Washington,  D.  C,  for  many  years, 
retired  last  year.  She  is  still  very  busy  coach- 
ing and  taking  care  of  her  adopted  children,

Do  Your  Part 

The    help   of  the   Alumnae   is 

needed  in  the   preparation  oi 

S.T.C.  s  history 

You  will  recall  that  the  February  1948, 
issue  of  the  Alumnae  Bulletin  con- 
tained a  short  notice  concerning  a  pro- 
posed history  of  State  Teachers  College. 
The  subject  had  been  discussed  at  the 
1947  meeting  of  the  Alumnae  Council. 
Also  at  this  meeting  was  Dr.  Francis  B. 
Simkins,  who  had  agreed  to  write  this 
"biography"  of  the  College.  He  pointed 
out  that  a  historical  account  of  S.T.C. 
which  would  stress  the  personality  of  the 
College,  would  be  impossible  unless  a 
wealth  of  material  concerning  the  every- 
day life  of  former  students  was  available. 
Such  source  materials  would  include 
letters  written  while  in  college,  anecdotes 
about  students  and  faculty,  old  pictures, 
old  school  publications,  including  pro- 
grams of  college  productions  or  of  gradua- 
tion exercises.  It  would  also  include 
printed  or  manuscript  accounts  of  social 
and  club  activities,  as  well  as  academic 
accomphshments,  of  students  after  leav- 
ing college. 

The  part  that  the  College  Library  was 
prepared  to  play  in  the  collecting  and 
preserving  of  such  materials  was  ex- 
plained at  the  meeting  by  Dr.  Beverley 
Ruffin,  College  Librarian.     The  S.T.C. 


Historical  Collection  of  Books  and  Man- 
uscripts is  now  housed  in  a  separate  room 
in  the  Library  where  for  the  first  time 
there  is  care  and  development  of  this 
valuable  source  material. 

For  the  eventual  success  of  this  project 
your  cooperation  is  essential.  You  your- 
selves are  the  source  materials  on  which 
an  author  is  dependent  in  his  social 
biography  of  the  College.  It  is  essential 
to  have  a  record  of  your  student  activ- 
ities. You  can  contribute  this  material. 
Have  j'ou  old  annuals,  old  handbooks, 
old  issues  of  The  Colonnade'!  The  Col- 
lege Library  wants  issues  of  these.  The 
Library  also  wants  issues  of  The  Voice, 
published  by  the  Cunningham  and  the 
Ruffner  Library  Societies;  of  The  Tribu- 
tum,  running  from  September  1930  into 
the  forties;  of  the  old  Farmville  Quarterly 
Review,  published  in  the  late  1930's;  of 
The  Guidon,  begim  in  February  1905  and 
continued  until  1910  and  thereafter;  of 
The  Focus,  begun  in  Februar}^  1911  and 
continued  into  the  1920's;  of  the  State 
Teachers  College  Magazine,  the  first  issue 
having  appeared  in  May  1925.  Do  you 
have  any  of  these  student  publications? 
If  so,  will  you  not  send  them  for  preserva- 
tion to  the  S.T.C.  College  Library? 

Complete  sets  of  each  student  publica- 
tion would  indeed  form  one  layer  in  the 
source  records  necessary  for  the  histo-ian 
who  undertakes  to  create  a  word  portrait 
of  the  "Spirit  of  Farmville". 


A  small  shipment  of  Farmville  Wedgewood  China  has  been  received.     The 
following  may  be  ordered: 

Plates,  10}^-inch  size  (Rotunda  or  Longwood,  blue  only),  $2.00  each. 
Plates,  bread  and  butter  size  (Rotunda,  blue  or  mulberry),  $1.00  each.
